Rumor Mill

SPRINT iPhone!!!! I love being right!!!

Wow!! It's amazing that people come on here and talk about stuff they have no idea about with such conviction. It's even better when they are proven wrong while the discussion continues over time. For example the guy that said Sprint would never get the Nexus One because it is only GSM, only to be proven wrong in the last week...CLASSIC.

Anyone who has seen me post on here before knows that I don't talk about stuff I don't know about, I've gotten in some heated arguments with people who thought they knew what they were talking about and didn't. I posted on here about an EXCLUSIVE BLACKBERRY SLIDER FOR SPRINT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME!!!!

What would you like to bet? Did you read anything I wrote or do you just read headlines? Just because it hasn't been mentioned officially doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. I KNOW, let me repeat that, I KNOW SPRINT WILL BE GETTING THE iPHONE!! What I don't know is if it will be 3g 3G or 3G/4G. No who wants to take bets?

you both know it makes no sense to argue about what has not happened. the more posturing you two do the greater chance ONE of you will look like a complete jerk or moron in the end. I say if he lays his/her claim that it will be so then we wait and call it out at the prescribed time as to the validity of the source. for now i will say only that it is a waste for Apple to try to sell in sprint but greedy as they are I wouldnt put it past them.

There will be an exclusive Sprint Blackberry phone on Sprint in Q4, it will be a slider, it will have OS 6.0 among other things. I knew about it over a year and a half ago, although I was told it would be landscape slider and now it looks like it will be a portrait slider, not sure why they changed it. It was called the Mr. T in pre-production and i still don't know what it will be called, but it has gone through the first phase of testing already with Sprint, failed 3 of the 4 tests, not sure if that will push back the launch scheduled for Q4. You're right "none exists", when did I say it was out, I said it was coming out. Don't start an argument based on the last thing you read, you should probably get all the facts before you interje...(continues)

A year and a half ago, and still nothing announced? Why put in big letters that you stated a BB Slider would come out, and nobody believed you, as if it proves anything? One still hasn't come out, so that makes you 0/2. Way to disprove yourself, friend.

It seems more like you're throwing random guesses proclaiming that you 'know' information that employees and management don't have, and then saying you were correct when your guesses eventually happen.

By this logic, everybody who has ever theorized that any kind of phone might exist is correct. Other people have said that all carriers would have the iPhone before you did, years before. Same with touchscreen qwerties, and iDEN smartphones. People assured there would be one years before ...(continues)

Because it has been announced, not officially, but anyone with any gumption knows that Sprint is getting a Blackberry Slider. What I knew a year and a half a ago was that Sprint had commissioned and made an agreement with Blackberry to produce one. I am not making guesses here, I am simply sharing info that I have, I have no control over the time-line in which things happen, i can however share info that I have, believe it or not. If I was making guesses and waiting for them to come true then let me tell you about Sprint getting a phone that will have a 20 megapixel camera with a real flash, everything that you don't like about your phone now, it does and has, has a battery that lasts 10 hours of continuos talk time and charges just by m...(continues)

totally, why would sprint want something that can only be used with apple. kinda defeats the whole android idea doesnt it? even if it does come out to sprint who really cares cudos to you making an educated guess. lets see, apple huge industry lots of cust, sprint huge industry lots of custs kinda seems likly.

WOW!!!Congratulations!!!That is, like, so totally cool that you were right. You must be a TOTAL insider to get this information like that. AWESOME!Imagine.... Sprint getting an iPhone! Who (other than you, of course) ever would have even imagined such a thing!

Seriously, though. Thanks for the info. I was considering getting the Hero for my next upgrade (in May), but I may wait until November, when Sprint gets the iPhone. Any word on pricing? Will they be 8Gb, 16Gb or more?

You guys are on here just to argue. It is very clear that Apple would not release this information to anyone unless you are the CEO of Sprint. If you were talking about a good business decision it would be that the Iphone would come to verizon considering the fact that Sprint has 50 million subscribers and Verizon has upwards of 100 million. If you were Apple which one would you choose?

Ummm I would choose both genius. If I were apple I would not do an exclusive contract with anyone anymore, I would have learned my lesson with AT&T, nowe I would say here's a CDMA iPhone, who wants one??!! Thats smart business. If you think that the CEO os Sprint is the only one who could know about this you shoul just stay off of here entirely.

Let me give you a short list of people who could and do know about this:

What lesson is their to be leaned from AT&T? What pople fail to understnd is that th iPhone is what makes the netork look bad, not the network itself. But I bet you knew that too. If the iPhone would have been put on any other network it would have crashed worse than AT&T's did, and yes, they do have third party studies on this.

Nice try Amarantamin!! Really, very good. But "Mr. Walters" saying his neighbor who "works directly for apple under the development team" saying that we are not getting the iphone is hardly "proof" nor is "Mr. Walters" speaking for "Sprint" as you so boldly stated, but really good bluff though!!

this is called rumor mill, are you familiar with how rumors work? If I was willing to list my sources i would have already, but i am not going to compromize them, you can believe me or not, i don't really care. Please provide me with a post that has absolute proof posted in it about anything in Rumor Mill that is leaked information, it is the point of the forum homeboy, otherwise it would be called Proof Mill. i don't really care if you believe me, i am just passing on info that i have received.

I did not get my information from Sprint, but Amarantamin coming on here saying that "Sprint" posted something on an internal Sprint website saying that the rumors about Sprint getting the iPhone were not true was B.S. and he would be the d\efinition of "big mouth", he was making stuff up to try and disproove my statement. I have my sources and asked what he was talking about and found out that it was an internal Sprint forum and a random employee said "his neighbor who works for apple" stated this and he was asking people's opinion. In no way shape or form was this a statement from Sprint and he was just trying to stir up another argument and being antagonistic. Yet he came on here claiming it was an official statement from Sprint.

BigKippa said: I am simply offering information that I have received for people who care, I am not on here to "battle" with people, but I do quite enjoy it when people want to argue and either have neither the intellect to do so or have any basic logic behind their statements. That is all.

All this back and forth is pointless until Sprint, Verizon, Apple or whoever makes an official statement but it is amusing to read

The simple fact that both of you even posted a response to me puts you in the same category that you have put me in. I will admit that I do like arguing, who doesn't? I especially like arguing because I am good at it and I am hilarious and most people on here lack the skills or sense of humor to compete or debate successfully with me, many times even when they are right. I have seen countless people on here that may even be right but their logic, reasoning or analogies are just pathetic. I am not one that comes on here JUST to argue, I actually am knowledgeable on the subjects I post, I do offer information that I have been privy to for a reason. I will ALWAYS defend my points and information, if I wasn't in a position to, or have the a...(continues)

That's like saying a reporter who won't reveal their sources shouldn't write about the info. Go back and look at the name of the forum you are in homie, since when did ANYONE have to "show proof" of anything that they post about in this forum? If you want proof of everything that people write about, if you need a security blanket provided to you to make you feel safe and warm before you believe it.....here it comes.....wait for it.......don't rush it.........don't come to RUMOR MILL AAAANNNNYYYYMMMMOOORRREEE!!!!!! It's frickin called RRRRUUUUMMMOOORRR MILL for god's sake!!!! Get a clue and stay out of here if you need proof for everything!!!

Amarantamin said:Yay, you just admitted that your statements are unconfirmed rumor.

What was that about you being good at debates? Also a rumor? Rumor debunked, I say. You just called yourself out.

You truly are a moron beyond anything I have ever seen on here. Since when did I offer ANY confirmation for this post, I have said from day one that you don't have to believe me. I don't care if you do or not. How many times do I have to say this? I have no proof that I can post on here, this info is derived from conversations of contacts that I have, I did not record this conversation nor, if I had, is there any way that I know of to post a sound byte on here, hence the reason I posted it in RU...(continues)

I've had unconfirmed conversations with contacts that I did not record stating that the iPhone would not be on Sprint. Glad to know we are on equal ground with our claims. The only difference is, I wouldn't use mine to proclaim myself correct.

While you state your source of information cannot be revealed, others have had similar unconfirmed un-recorded conversations stating that the iPhone was not currently in development for Sprint. The only difference is, they stated directly that these conversations were with friends who worked for Apple. Your contacts are oh-so-mysterious. Which, in turn, means your claims hold less weight than theirs.

P.S. Still no Blackberry bar phone for Sprint. You're a year-and-a-half of wrong on that one. But...(continues)

I KNOW that Im going to win the lottery soon. But we all know how these things can get pushed back. Saying that you know that spring will be getting the iphone by Novermber but we all know how these things can get pushed back is like me saying I know that I will eventually die. Unless your name is Steve Jobs, you dont know crap.

Not sure what BB slider you are speaking of, I know AT&T is getting the 9800 slider. So maybe you are WRONG about iphone. Plus, if Sprint put the iPhone on it's network, it would crash worse than AT&T's did.

Wow!! It's amazing that people come on here and talk about stuff they have no idea about with such conviction. It's even better when they are proven wrong while the discussion continues over time. For example the guy that said Sprint would never get the Nexus One because it is only GSM, only to be proven wrong in the last week...CLASSIC.

I posted on here about an EXCLUSIVE BLACKBERRY SLIDER FOR SPRINT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME!!!!

Even if we take Apple's exclusive contract with AT&T out of the equation (and that doesn't run out until 2012), why on Earth would Sprint want to acquire a phone which is in direct competition with the Evo? Having more than one flagship device at once just reduces sales for all of them.

i cant tell you ALL that nothing is certain with the stupid iphone until APPLE says so. sprint and verizon have been bulshitting their customers and saying its coming, verizon has done it for three years. ill beleive it when apple announces it. and if it were going to happen this winter season, i would know, i work in the industry, and have many contacts at sprint and verizon. they all say the same thing, we dont know. if you are not sure with apple products, its a definite no. sorry verizon, and sorry for all you people using sprints second hand service, the iphone will surely not be in your hands anytime soon. unless you swith to ATT or jailbreak one for tmobile.

Actually, Verizon people MIGHT say no because there is a clause in their employment that says they are not allowed to release information to the public until Verizon does or they will be fired. Just sayin'

well so far he has been somewhat correct. the bb slider with 6.0 but diff carrier. the iphone will be released to verizon at q1 of 2011 on cdma. that means they already did the hard part and it will make it easy to use on sprint also. until they just release it to Sprint to carry. i wonder how there able to release it to verizon even though there contract don't expire with at&t till 2012 i bet thats gonna be a hefty fee?

let me see if i get this. Your saying a apple made and manufactured product is going to be produced by another company and still called an iphone. that almost made me laugh when you said it with such conviction. it would not be an apple product if apple did not make it. second i know that att's child the iphone is not going to go to any other carrier without a fight. thats why att is on top atm and there not going to let there iphone go that easily. and if it goes to a bid att can outbid any other company because "we" have more customers than verizon and sprint combine. lol i love it when your wrong. and just like verizon getting the iphone it will not happen.

you must not get out much. its been talked about for about a year and is in the news too. production is pretty complete. i think its time to understand that. wait till the beginning of the year and you finally believe.

Wow. First of all, AT&T has fewer Cellphone customers than Verizon. Verizon is number one in the industry. Second, AT&T doesn't use CDMA, so please tell me why Apple has bought 3 Billion CDMA chipsets? Oh, and Nov Verizon will be making an announcement as to the release of the Verizon CDMA iPhone.

Yeah, and sadly with that post sprint lost the bid on both the BB slider (AKA the torch) and the CDMA iphone (which went to vzw) Tisk tisk. Oh...and the new nexus, still gsm. ahh but what a feeling it is to dream...

You were not even close big kippa and you my friend are a coward. As soon as you find out you are wrong you stop posting on this forum when you were so right, I mean you were right in the room with Steve Jobs and Dan Hesse when they came to this deal. They let you down and completely lied to you.

I have been on here the whole time just under a different name. This is probably the single greatest rumor I have started, I mean look at how much time you guys spent on replying!! I think I set a Rumor Mill record (seriously..I think I actually did), thanks to everyone who just could not let it go, talk about pathetic.

Just this one comment I am doing now will keep it going, SOMEONE will have to respond to this...it's like a drug. I should get a medal or something.....lets the responses continue, this post will never die. If it does, I'll just start another one because I own you guys.

Now who wants to be the first one to respond and prove me right and keep this thing going??

I know about as much about unreleased "future phones" as our Government knows how to put a budget together.

I don't care if you think I did this on purpose or not, it's pure entertainment for me.

Phonescoop is a joke to me, I come on here like once a month and just laugh and laugh, it used to be good back in the day, but now you get like 1 story a day to read...pathetic. When that started happening I found Rumor Mill and it saved me from going insane. This site is a joke.

Making fun of Autism...awesome come back. Try again pickles, you're better than that...I hope. Dig deep and come up with something that'll keep me off of Phonescoop for good. Maybe make fun of the mentally challenged or handicapped or something, that's your style right? I love that you can't leave this alone, it helps me sleep just a bit better at night knowing that I am on your mind. Are you killing me violently in your dreams or are you dressing me in a negligee....I'll bet it's the latter, so...try again please.

he wasn't making fun of mentally challenged people direclty. but i bet a mentally challenged person could come up with better posts than you. nobody cares about you kippa, nobody is losing sleep over you fool. i don't care if i keep this going by posting or not. youre even dumber than the ppl in the lounge kippa, no wonder nobody over there likes you. just go to search and search for "big kippa" so you can c all the threads about what a loser you are. you have no life. if anyone is losing sleep over phonescoop it's you. ur so delusional you prolly actually believe ppl on this site still care about this thread

BigKippa said:I just hope that the people who are arguing with me are still on here when these phones drop so I can come back and sh*t on your face, metaphorically of course.

thats wut u said a couple years ago kippa. durrrr!!! not only were u wrong about the iphone u were wrong about the bberry too!! and then u try to tell everyone "ohh hey guys i meant to do that!" hahahahha what a loser

3 posts!! You obviously care, and it's 12:44am on your post. I wonder if the 4th post in a row is going to be more of you saying how no one spends any time thinking about me or losing sleep....let's see.

Did you really just write 4 posts in a row? At 1 in the morning? Saying how know one cares or loses sleep? Use the word "durrrr" and have the phrase "420" in your name? All at the same time? People are gonna think that I paid you to write this stuff!! But I didn't!!

Admit it phonegeek420 you love me, I obviously have burrowed into your brain and taken over, I give you something to do other than smoking another bowl in your mom's basement at 1 in the morning. Let me prove how I own you by watching you unable to resist keeping this thread alive by staring at the screen for 10 minutes trying to tell yourself not to give in to me, writing something, editing it because you're not happy with the "diss", re-writing it, and finally giving i...(continues)

you're nothing without me kippa. if i didn't reply, who would? nobody. because nobody cares. i just can't help feeling bad for you. someone has to give you attention, i don't want you to go do anything stupid.

Every second more you spend on this thread gives me more power, I am just hoping that you are going back and rereading everything I wrote, you can't give that time back...I own it. I feel myself getting stronger and stronger with every reply.

I have done my duty to society. I posted this thread over a year ago and it is still growing with power....it's called forum domination people, I took a class on it and aced it. Now I will do what I do best, sit back and watch everyone respond and just laugh, it truly gives me pleasure to see everyone get so mad at my posts but be equally as negative and supportive of it's existence by constantly feeding it.

I will get back to my life as usual, which according to all of you is being a loser, but will watch over this post like a proud parent and watch it grow into maturity. Truly a post that will last the ages, at it's feet lay the countless minutes and hours that people take to reread it so they can quote me, talk trash, and turn int...(continues)

more lies. you can't stay away from phonescoop, kippa. i know you'll be lurking every day. checking on your precious "baby." growing more and more depressed about the lack of activittties. "bigkippa" is nothin with out phonescoop, and as soon as you quit replying on this thread, so will everyone else.
